Chapter 5: The Truth
Shi Ren took the corpses of the members of Tiandihe to the Yamen, and he was greeted by Chen Zhutou and Li Zhutou, who delivered the corpses.
Chen Zhutou saw the corpse and asked, "What is this?"
Shi Ren talked about the fact that the members of the Heaven and Earth Society went to the cemetery to avoid the pursuit of the yamen last night.
Chen Zhutou saw that he was indeed a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, and asked Shi Ren, "You killed this alone?"
Shi Ren talked in detail about what happened last night, and when it came to the time when the book was lived, Chen Zhutou and Li Zhutou's faces became pale.
"Impossible, impossible!! we saw with our own eyes that the scholar was dead, how could we cheat the corpse?"
Shi Ren explained to them for a long time, but they still didn't believe it.
Shi Ren is also very helpless, this thing is really weird, and ordinary people won't believe it. thinks Shi Ren is talking nonsense. Later, he asked about the origin of the scholar.
Chen Zhutou recalled to Li Zhutou: "The scholar's body was found in a broken temple outside the county, and it was very scary to look at the scholar's appearance, and it was also very strange to bring it back to the Yamen physician to read the book, and it was finally concluded that he was frozen to death." ”
As soon as Shi Ren heard that he couldn't ask any clues, he forgot it, and then sent someone to the cemetery with the yamen to collect the corpses of the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.
When I arrived at the gate of the cemetery, I happened to meet the village chief and the villagers who had just gone to Shi Ren to ask for an explanation. The villagers turned pale with fright, and when they saw the headcatcher, they immediately ran over and told the catcher about the corpse he had seen and what he had heard the night before.
The head catcher hurriedly solved the misunderstanding, and the villagers knew what was going on after hearing it, and looked at Shi Ren and smiled apologetically before leaving.
The head catcher went in with Shi Ren to confirm, and then gave Shi Ren a bounty.
Before leaving, Shi Ren stopped the headcatcher, "Where is the temple where the scholar's body was found?"
Shi Ren knew the address and planned to go and see it tomorrow.
At night, Shi Ren tossed and turned, but he couldn't sleep, afraid that there would be dead people who would suddenly cheat the corpse. Then the cemetery system was called up and the exchange shop was opened.

He called up the monitoring again, checked all over the corner of the cemetery, looked carefully and found that there was no abnormality, and then slowly fell asleep.
Chapter 6 Learned
Early in the morning, Shi Ren packed up and went to the temple outside the county seat.
When Shi Ren arrived and saw the dilapidated temple, he heard the head catcher say that the scholar's body was found in a corner of the house, Shi Ren carefully looked for clues and muttered, "This temple is really broken." Shi Ren looked inside and outside the temple and found no clues, and the corpse transformation had no result, so he went to the market with a sad face.
Shiren went to the bazaar and found a tavern to sit down. Xiao Er: "What are the guests?"
"A pot of wine, two taels of good beef" Xiao Er, "Okay, guest wait"
Shi Ren looked at the outside of the bazaar and thought noisily about the corpse mutiny, and the task issued by the cemetery system to find the book, and the cause of life and death became distracted. Thinking about it, Xiao Er interrupted his train of thought when he brought the wine, he cried and laughed, and thought to himself, "If you come, you will be safe."
The reason why Shi Ren came to the tavern is because the place is full of people and fish, and everyone has it, and he can hear useful news. He didn't have a clue anyway.
Shi Ren's hearing was better than ordinary people because of the "inspiration" of the cemetery system, and then he heard a few people sitting in the corner saying that it seemed that someone from the Jianghu sect had come to our county. Shi Ren came interested.
Shi Ren was inspired to inquire, he took the wine and meat to the table, these people were a little surprised and said, "Little brother, what are you?" Shi Ren said, "I don't want to drink and talk to you about it, this wine is mine" and shouted "Xiao Er, the pot of good wine" These people are also very bold, so they said to Shi Ren, "No need to be brothers from all over the world, there is a fate when you come"
After three rounds of drinking
Shi Ren asked these people just now that I heard from you that there were Jianghu sects sent to our county, and one person said, "Yes, I heard that they are the warriors of the second kingdom passing through our county, and many people have gone to see it" Shi Ren asked again, "Warriors, you say this, I want to visit" The other one said, "Brother, I know where they live, but they are in high and powerful positions, and they can't afford us, so they are not so easy to see." ”
"Don't worry about it, buddy, I'm just going to try"
That person told Shi Ren the address of the first son of the Jianghu sect
On a whim, Shi Ren asked them, "Have you heard of any evil things, such as the dead man's corpse?"
They all laughed "Hahahaha, don't joke brother, how is this possible"
Shi Ren thought to himself, "Hey, no one believes in this kind of thing"
After drinking with them for a while, he said, "I'll go first, you drink slowly."
Shi Ren settled the account before leaving.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and Shi Ren went to the brigade manager where the first son of the Jianghu sect lived.
After Shi Ren arrived, he lowered his posture and went to visit them, and at first the first son of the Jianghu Sect did not see him. Shi Ren said at the door that the corpse had been transformed that night, and that more people might die. I didn't expect them to agree with him after hearing this, maybe the first sons of these Jianghu sects also have a chivalrous heart.
After entering the door, Shi Renyou told the events of that night in detail.
After listening to it, of course, they didn't believe that it was a dead man who deceived the corpse, and Shi Ren didn't explain much, after all, he couldn't believe it if he hadn't met this matter.
One of the first children thought for a long time and said: "In this case, I heard the elders in the family say similar things, I didn't care about it at the time, it should be that there was a disease that would make people crazy in the early years." ”
After hearing this, Shi Ren retired first.
On the way to the cemetery, he thought about the incident that the first son of the Jianghu sect said today was a bit similar, but he firmly believed that the scholar was dead and transparent, and it must be a corpse.
It was already night when I returned to the cemetery, and I turned on the monitoring again to check the cemetery and found that there was still nothing abnormal.
I was tired after a day of running, and I went to bed early.
